General Alarm at Ferry-s Pro
posed Appointment.

CHICAGO, December IA special
to the Daily Ne,ys from Paris says :
1t is impossible to test the temper OF
the French people at present. The
Radicals, who are at the bottom of
the trouble, are on the run, and il
looks as though Clemenceau's efforts
to pull do wn the pillar of the temple
would be frustrated. Radicals, like
Rochefort, and Destructionists, like
Dereuede, have alb ondoned the con-
spiracy to overthrow Grevy, under
pretense OF wiping out government
tai shams and scandal. Alarmed by
the unconscious boost they had given
their great enemy, Ferry, they are
now offering their support
to Grevy. Clemenceau himself
disconnected by
THE VISION OF RUIN
Disclosed, has humbled himself to
Grevy, but the President has declined
all compromising overtures.
The departments are pouring in
protests against deposing Grevy, and
MAYORS and magistrates are forward
ing kilograms saying that the persist
ence of the Radicals would annihilate
the Republic.
There is now being presented the
spectacle of many who have been
Grevy's bitterest foes during the past
two weeks, groveling at his feet. Paris
is calm, but it is calm which causes
distrust on the part OF the authorities,
and precautions have been redoubled.
PUBLIC PRoCLAMATIoNs.
The streets are being placarded in
all directions with posters, which are
torn down as fast as possible by the
police. These read:
"PEopLE OF PARIS The Republic
is in danger. Congress is about to
name Grevy's successor at Versailles.
There is a monstrous conspiracy to
deliver the country to Ferry, the fam.
inc breeder; to Ferry, the Tonquinier
to Ferry, the valet OF Bismarck. Re
publicans of all shades, Socialists Oh
| Revolutionists, shall we allow such {
crime to be perpetrated? No, a thou
sand times, no! Blood must not flov
needlessly, but we will not recoil be
fore any sacrifice to save France iron
being represented by the meanest G
traitors. Citizens, let us be ready an
watchful; the Republic is in danger.

NATIONAL BANKS.
Report of the Comptroller OF Cur
rCnCy.


WASHINGTON, December 1.-The
twenty-fith annual report OF the
Comptroller of Currency shows that
the total number of National banks
organized up to the 31st OF October
was 3SO5, of which 625 have gone into
voluntary liquidation and 1I9 have
failed, leaving in operation at that
date 906l.
The total number OF new banks
opened during the year was 225, and the
number closed SO, of which 25 went
into voluntary liquidation and eight
Jailed.
The net increase in National
bank capital for the year was $50, ,572,-
1926. There is a net decrease of $50,-
495, $50 III the circulation represented
by bonds.
Very full Statistics have been col
lected about State banks, savings
banks, loan and trust companies, pri-
vate banks, and bankers throughout
the country. Suggestions by the
Comptroller as to amendments to the
aw are set forth at considerable
length.
THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGE
Recommended is that the minimum
bonds to be deposited as security for
circulation shall be 10 per cent. OF the
capital of banks of not over 5000 900,
and 15 per cent. for banks of which the
capital exceeds $250,000. He also re-
commends that the National Bank sha
not be counted as part of the lawful
reserve of banks. The existing pro-
visions of the law as to the RESPONSE
bility of officers and directors of
banks are modified so as to avoid the
existing obstacles to their prompt and
certain enforcement of the restriction
upon banks as to the making OF loans
in excess OF 10 per cent of the capital
The provision as to State taxation OF
National Banks is also modified.

The order of the day was submitted
to the Chamber of Deputies at 4
O'Clock. 1t met with applause from
the left and center and was carried,
53l against 3. Rouvier communicated
to Grevy the result OF the vote, and
Grevy replied that the members hav-
ing resigned could not communicate
to the Chambers. Rouvier declared
that Grevy would only resign under
pressure of hostile manifestation by
the Chambers. The excitement be-
came intense.
A MOB GATHERED
In front OF the Elysee, crying for the
President to resign. Troops guarded
the palace entrance, and the crowd
became SO demonstrative in front OF
the Palais de Bourbon that the caval-
ry charged. Many members favor
Grevy's impeachment if he does not
resign when the sitting is resumed.

The sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties was resumed at 6:30 P. NJ. Rou-
vier ascended the tribune and an
nounced that he had communicated to

the order of the day. "This commu-
nication," said M. Rouvier, chad
caused the President to modify his
resolution. He had never intended
to enter into conflict with Parlia-
ment, and would, therefore, send IA
message to the Chamoe and Senate
tomorrow, informing them of his de-
cision." Rouvier added "that the
President declined to accept the resig-
nation of the Cabinet, which, there
fore, retained it's functions. M. Rou-
vier's statement was greeted with
cheers, and the Chamber adjourned
till p. NJ. tomorrow.

Two Draymen.
SAN DIEGO, December 1.-Anothel 1
bloody affray and probably murder
took place in this city this morning at
5 o'clock. At that hour truck drove
up to building in the Russ lumber
yard with load of window and door
frames. The driver, Albright, began
backing his team close to a
room containing such stores,
and his assistant, Joe Bennett OBJ
jected, saying that it was against
! orders. For few moments the two
were exchanging words; and finally
Bennett told him all rilht, to step
out into the street and they would
fight it out, at the same time making
a move to pick up a dray spoke. Al
bright replied by drawing
A HEAVY PoCKET-KNIFE,
Opening it and advancing toward
Bennett. At this moment Mr.. Avery,
Superintendent of the Russ yard in
terposed, and told Albright to put
up his knife. Albright turned to re
ply to Avery, and while his head was
turned Bennett brought his heavy
stake down on Albright with all his
strength. The latter
FELL AS THOUGH DEAD
And his assailant struck one or two
more blows before Mr.. Avery could
handle him. Albright rose up
and went into the house where
he bled profusely from about
the head and also spat up blood. He
said that he was the aggressor and
was to blame. He was afterwards
taken to his room and is in critical
condition. Albright is an Odd Fellow
in good standing and generally liked.
Bennett has not yet been arrested.

SANTA CRUZ BOMBS.
Those Issued For the Water
works Declared Void.


SAN FRANCISCO, December Ito
day the Supreme Court rendered a
decision that the bonds issued by the
city of Santa Cruz to build the water
works system were void. The case
came before it on petition for writ OF
mandate by the Santa Cruz Water
Company to compel Mayor Effcy and
the Common Council to allow interest
on the bonds. The writ was denied.
The bonds were issued in accordance
with the State law, authorizing cities OF
more than 5000 and less than 10000
inhabitants to obtain public water
works. The law went into effect May
1885, but the ele ;tion for the bonds
was held on March 30, 1885, or be-
tween the time of the passage of the
Act and when it. went into force !;
